How To Find Telecommuting Jobs

By:  Tammy Florczak

In the world of high tech communication and conveniences, where stress and climbing the corporate ladder is the norm, working at home or telecommuting is a practice becoming more and more popular with a growing number of people every year.  The idea of a boss-less existence, scheduling one’s own hours and not being chained to a desk or a cubicle is an attractive one for many.  For others, utilizing skills and talents to gain an income on one’s own terms is an attractive factor to telecommuting.  But where can an individual look to find such a seemingly “perfect” job? 

There exists a plethora of telecommuting and work-at-home websites in just about every corner of the Internet.  One such website is aptly called www.jobs-telecommuting.com.  This website contains several work-at-home opportunities for individuals of all skill sets and even offers a toll-free number connecting the independent contractor to a help desk for any kind of assistance one would need. 

Although it lists several opportunities, there are a few key positions that will cater to just about anyone without specific skill sets or required talents. 

One such position is the “Paid to Drive” or mobile marketing position.  For a small fee, the willing participant is sent an extensive listing of companies who are willing to purchase “ad space” on the participant’s car.  The participant can contact these companies to receive advertisements to post on their car.  They are paid by the month for the duration of the advertising campaign.  The larger the advertisement the more money the participant is paid. 

This particular position is ideal because there are no other skills or marketing efforts involved other than the ability to drive and the willingness to post these advertisements on the vehicle.  There is no need for the participant to drive around a specified area; they are simply required to go about their daily errand business.  Posting of the advertisements on a vehicle causes no damage to the vehicle whatsoever.  There is virtually no risk involved. 

Another aspect of this particular business is that some companies provide their own cars for the participant’s use.  It is certainly possible to retain the company vehicle for three to five years while participating in this mobile advertising campaign.  And again, the participant needn’t do anything out of the ordinary or drive out of their way.  They only need to go about their daily activities. 

A second easy and seemingly effortless position, located on http://www.jobs-telecommuting.com  is the “Paid to take Surveys” opportunity.  Participants in this venture receive a valuable Market Research Survey Guide filled with the names and web locations of dozens of companies who reward participants in cash and prizes just for taking their surveys.  The world of marketing is driven by customer opinion and satisfaction.  Therefore this could be a lucrative opportunity for someone willing to take the time to fill out surveys from various companies. 

Mystery Shopping is another lucrative opportunity listed on this website.  Job seekers are prompted to purchase a guide to Mystery Shopping, providing them with a wealth of tips and tricks of the trade as well as “instant access” to mystery shopping companies.  This opportunity requires a little more time on the part of the participant.  However the major benefit to this opportunity is that the individual will be able to shop, eat and participate in sports for free. 

Probably one of the most attractive opportunities on jobs-telecommuting.com is where an individual can make money with their digital camera.  It is a simply wonderful feature to be able to make money doing something that you enjoy.  Many people enjoy taking digital pictures.  This venture gives people the opportunity to turn a profit with their best pictures.  For a one-time membership fee to http://www.workathomedigest.com/photos.html, one can have access to several stock photography websites who will purchase their pictures.  This is an excellent opportunity for even amateur photographers to get their work out into the public eye and turn a profit from the same photo over and over again.  Although the tendency and desire to take photographs is involved, this is still an easy and seemingly effortless opportunity to whoever wants to partake of it. 

But of course doing what you love to do is always a seemingly effortless venture isn’t it?
